Nightingala Program Book nursing - pioneers in advancing a culture of health friends of the national institute of nursing research October 14, The Ritz Carlton Hotel - Washington, DC Nigh∑in celebratingGala ninr's years 1985 - 201530 It is a pleasure to welcome you to the 2015 NightinGala on behalf of my 10,000+ Hill-Rom colleagues around the world who work tirelessly every day to enhance outcomes for patients and their caregivers. In my eighth year of sponsoring the NightinGala and serving on the FNINR Board, I remain inspired by the work that all of you do to advance the science of nursing on behalf of patients, families and communities. It is an honor to provide support to the extraordinary work of nurse researchers as we transform healthcare delivery and enhance the health of our Nation and the world. Enjoy the evening and celebrate the difference that nurses make every day! We have never needed you more. Melissa A. Fi∑zpa∑rick, msn, rn, faan Vice President and Chief Clinical Officer, Hill-Rom friends of the national institute of nursing research The Friends of the National Institute of Nursing Research (FNINR) is an independent, non-profit organization founded in 1993. FNINR’s mission is to provide resources to support nursing research and advance the mission of the NINR. The Friends seek to support research-based nursing practice by educating nursing professionals and the public about the advances made through nursing research and its benefits to patients, families, the community and the delivery of healthcare. Nurse researchers are grounded in clinical nursing practice and focused on the physical, mental, emotional and social needs of patients. They recognize the illness and the presence of health risk factors affecting the overall well-being of individuals. The healthcare community faces new challenges and opportunities to improve patient care each year. With the continuing leadership provided by NINR and the support of FNINR, nurse researchers will continue to contribute to the enhanced health and well-being of all Americans, especially in a time when cost-effectiveness and quality of care are equally championed by the public and the Nation’s decision makers. the national institute of nursing research The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) was established as a Center at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and as an Institute in 1985. This placement among the 27 Institutes and Centers within the NIH has added a new scientific perspective to enrich the Nation’s biomedical and behavioral research endeavors. NINR’s mission is to promote and improve the health of individuals, families, communities, and populations. The mission is accomplished through support of research in scientific areas such as chronic and acute diseases, health promotion and maintenance, symptom management, health disparities, caregiving, self-management, and the end of life. NINR also supports the training of new investigators who bring new ideas and help to further expand research programs. The ultimate goal of NINR’s research is its dissemination into clinical practice and into the daily lives of individuals and families. 1 a message from the fninr president If you will, imagine the enormous strides that nurse scientists have made in the past 30 years! Tonight we take pause to celebrate and honor the enormous achievements continuously being made in advancing the health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities in our country and beyond – through the work of nurse scientists. If you are like me, I’m always in awe of the presence at this Gala of nursing’s scientific pioneers commingled with young investigator-innovators paving new directions in advancing science. You will hear Dr. Risa Lavizzo-Mourey describe creating a national culture of health. The credence to support this concept comes, in part, from the evidence generated by those in attendance. There are too few opportunities to gather as a collective to put context around the massive scientific contributions made by nurses. Experience this context as we honor a cohort of nurse scientists for their eloquent work with FNINR awards. Also, we honor two of our own Board Members who are being named emeriti contributors to the Friends organization – the incomparable Melissa Fitzpatrick and the interminable Dr. Franklin Shaffer. A special honor, for consultation and leadership in the field of policy, is being awarded to Dr. Suzanne Miyamoto, Senior Director of Government Affairs and Health Policy with the American Association of Colleges of Nursing. The AACN is a nonpartisan supporter on all aspects of nursing education funding, but equally, in their support of advocating for nursing’s research agenda. This latter effort has not received the accolades so richly deserved. The Friends of the National Institute of Nursing Research count on your science to advance the agenda of NINR, but we also count on your voice and financial support. Too few in the public still understand – and therefore cannot appreciate – the nature of nursing science and that nurses are scientists. Please, continuously and enthusiastically represent your discoveries. Equally, the signature Ambassadors Program of FNINR uses and speaks to your work on the Hill, in research forums, and in important public venues. Eight new Ambassadors are being added to the roster of our existing distinguished Ambassadors. Financial support of this program and for the other activities of FNINR is crucial – and deeply appreciated and carefully stewarded. Please help FNINR advocate for you and your important work. With warm regards from the entire FNINR Board of Directors, we celebrate 30 years of achievement and toast the discoveries yet to come! p hd, rn, faan, FNINR President 2Michael R. Bleich, a message from the ninr director It was 30 years ago that the vision of nursing scientists across the United States was finally realized with the creation of a National Center for Nursing Research at the National Institutes of Health. This milestone was clear recognition by the U.S. Congress and the scientific community that nursing research was truly a full partner in the Nation’s health research enterprise. It acknowledged what was already self-evident to those who had advocated for creating the Center: that nurse scientists had been, and would increasingly be, major players in addressing the health challenges of those and future times. Those visionaries have been proven correct countless times over the past three decades. As we reflect on the 30 year history of the organization we now know as the NINR, we can be very proud of what nursing science has achieved. Nursing science provides the evidence base to support the practice of the largest healthcare profession, as well as to improve wellness and quality of life for all individuals, regardless of age or health status. Because of nursing science, adolescents have been taught skills to successfully manage their diabetes; young minority women have reduced their risk for acquiring HIV; there is a better understanding of the biology and genetics of pain; and clinicians now have improved tools for discussing palliative and end-of-life care with seriously ill patients and their families. During this Anniversary year, we must also look ahead to addressing the challenges of the future. Given the rise in the incidence of long-term chronic illness, it is critically important that improving the quality of life for those with chronic illness remains a primary focus of nursing research. Individuals, regardless of their health status or age, should be able to experience a high quality of life, minimally burdened by adverse symptoms, with the ability to successfully manage their own health. Perhaps more importantly, individuals, families, clinicians, and communities should be equipped with evidence-based strategies for maintaining wellness and preventing illness from occurring in the first place. Tonight, we express our gratitude to those nurse scientists and NINR grantees who have already achieved so much to improve health and quality of life, and to those who will guide us into the next 30 years of NINR-supported science. To those in the many professional organizations represented here tonight, and particularly to the FNINR and FNINR Ambassadors, thank you for your efforts on behalf of nursing science. I am excited about the future, and what we can achieve together to advance the health of our fellow citizens. p hd, rn, faan, NINR Director Pa∑ricia A.

This may reflect global health’s capacity to be the interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral platform needed to address the complex challenges the world faces. Non-communicable diseases, environmental degradation, climate change, new and old infectious diseases, weak governance, technology, inequality and demographic changes pose deep challenges to achieving a sustainable future for all. Over the last two years we secured four important grants which have strengthened our political engagement and training activities. Our committees and working groups continue to convene experts across the global health enterprise to address numerous challenges. We were very pleased to complete our Capacity Building Platform, an online portal which helps to connect institutions in low resource countries with trainers they may be seeking; we also built an open access, crowd sourcing site that connects research questions with researchers; we created new working groups on Planetary Health-One Health-Environmental Health; Palliative Care; Equity; and Humanities; and we collaborated with our members to hold global health events outside the US (our first was with American University in Beirut). Significantly, we changed our mission statement to reflect our collective efforts to improve the health of people and the planet. Our membership continues to grow, with new members joining CUGH from every region of the world.

  • Strengthening 21St Century Global Health Systems: Investing Strategically in the Health Care Workforce
    Strengthening 21st Century Global Health Systems: Investing Strategically in the Health Care Workforce Summit Co-Chairs: Ann E. Kurth, PhD, CNM, FAAN and Marilyn A. DeLuca, PhD, RN Welcome Dear Honorable Ministers of Health, Honored Guests, Colleagues and Partners, Our warm, most earnest welcome. The Global Summit on Strengthening 21st Century Global Health Systems: Investing Strategically in the Health Care Workforce could not be more timely. Two weeks ago, many of us here today had the opportunity to participate in special sessions at the United Nations on non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The same week 1,200 individuals, including 50 heads of state, 450 business leaders and representatives from 500 non-governmental organizations from across the globe attended the weeklong Clinton Global Initiative (CGI). In both settings, the same message echoed: the time has come for all constituencies to step up and build adequate numbers of educated, competent health workers, working within strong and efficient health systems. We need to strategically increase the number of all health cadres, from community volunteers up through health care professionals including nurses, midwives, and physicians. A root-cause of the lack of appropriate health care, be it for attended birth or dignified end of life, is the lack of health care providers. This message is not new. In recent years, some have worked to develop health care workforce programs that have been accompanied by relatively minimal amounts of funding. Yet, today we remain far from reaching the minimum target of 2.3 health workers per 1,000 people in the 57 highest need countries. Importantly, we must strengthen global health systems and workforce in an era of continued economic challenge.

  • August 10, 2021 the Honorable Ron Klain White House Chief of Staff
    August 10, 2021 The Honorable Ron Klain White House Chief of Staff The Honorable Jake Sullivan National Security Advisor The Honorable Jeffrey Zients White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Klain, Mr. Sullivan, and Mr. Zients: Attached is a letter endorsed by over 175 leading scientists and civil society leaders as well as over 50 organizations calling on the Biden Administration to rapidly scale up mRNA vaccine manufacturing capacity to reach approximately 4 billion people by the end of 2021. We request a meeting with the three of you to discuss the content of this letter and your plans for scaling up vaccine manufacturing to meet global need. The emergence of the Delta variant highlights the risk of newer, emerging variants that threaten the progress made to date on the pandemic in the United States. Ambitious leadership is needed now to vaccinate the world. Namely, we implore the Biden Administration to: ● Commit to establishing 8 billion doses per year of mRNA vaccine capacity within six months using existing federal resources. A plan for this should be announced within one month. ● Simultaneously develop and implement training and technology transfer for the development and manufacture of mRNA and other vaccines in hubs around the world. ● Begin immediate export of vaccine doses to COVAX or through other international distribution mechanisms — of at least 10 million doses per week. This letter’s signatories include five Deans of leading public health, nursing, and medical schools; faculty from 20 universities, including Harvard University, Yale University, University of Washington, and Columbia University; numerous MacArthur Fellows; a former CDC Director; and countless civil society leaders.
